The total area of Aivintis is 599,833 square kilometres, bordering the Kaskada nations of Cascadii and Straszka in the west, the Morstaybishlian colony of Joralesia in the south, and East Cerdani to the north. Aivintis is also bordered by the Concord Ocean to the east, ocean access which has defined Aivintian population centres and politics throughout history. In the south, along the Joralesian border, the Nymphs of the Evening mountains mark the cultural and political boundary of Aivintis. The largest mountain range, the Spine, is located to the west, mostly along the East Cerdan and Cascadian borders. The highest point is the mountain Father-of-Griffins, in the Spine to the west of Derrim. The lowest point in Aivintis is the Grandys River Valley, in New Marnacia. The flattest plain in Aivintis is Remington Field, a site of many ancient battles. Other notable topographical features include the Valley of Kings, where Teronian kings were buried. Although not considered a topographical feature, caves are often found in Aivintis around the main mountain ranges, especially near the northern Spine.

The climate of Aivintis is classified mainly as “cold continental” without a dry season and with a hot summer. Average winter temperatures in Aivintis range from 1 to 7 degrees celsius, and average summer temperatures range from 15 to 25 degrees celsius. The people of Aivintis have become accustomed to regular rain, with an average annual rainfall of 55 mm, and cloudy skies, which is the most common weather forecast in Aivintis. This has led to somewhat of a stereotype that all Aivintians are pale. Heavy storms are not entirely out of place, leading to established systems and procedures for dealing with flash floods and lightning-induced fires. In addition, tornadoes are often seen on average once every year. Due to this, the design of storm shelters commonly used for severe thunderstorms often accommodate tornado safety measures. Earthquakes and tsunamis are almost completely unheard of in Aivintis.
